Meadows, who shot her father, has been incarcerated for 10 months. In late July, she'll be transferred to the Bellfaire JCB residential treatment, according to NBC News. There, she'll spend the six months that follow receiving therapy that will hopefully begin the long road to healing. If all goes according to plan, the young woman, who was originally charged with aggravated murder but pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter, will be able to finally return home.

We can't even begin to imagine how this young woman and her whole family must be feeling. Meadows's mother, Brandi, a mom of three, told the media last summer that her daughter's actions saved her life after she'd endured years of abuse.

"I am so sorry she had to go through this," Brandi said. "She is my hero. She helped me; she helped all of us so we could have a better life."

Previously, Brandi had gotten a restraining order against her husband (although she withdrew it and returned to her husband later on). She reportedly wrote in the order: "In the 17 years of our marriage, he has cut me, broke my ribs, fingers, the blood vessels in my hand, my mouth, blackened my eyes. I believe my nose was broken. If he finds us, I am 100 percent sure he will kill me and the children...My life is like living in a box he created for me, and if I stepped out of that box, he's there to put me back in that box."

It's absolutely heartbreaking to think that it had to take Bresha's act of violence for the Meadows family to achieve some semblance of peace.

Because in Ohio, children above the age of 14 can be tried as adults, Bresha was, at one point, facing life in prison without parole, according to her attorney. That had to be incredibly frightening for the teen.

Needless to say, moving to a treatment center is a much more preferable outcome, but many believe this young woman should never have faced these consequences in the first place.

We hope Bresha gets the help she needs and can begin a life free from violence and turmoil.
